The psychological effect of the bomb was negligible. Very few people knew that anything had happened, except that two of their cities were missing. The Japanese figured out that wearing white clothing would prevent injury and many were willing to go on. It was the military effect that critically important. The entry of the Soviet Union was also important. It was PM Suzuki and the Emperor who figure out that the war was lost, and the sooner they surrendered unconditionally to the Americans the better. The Emperor was willing subject himself to American control. Nice guy. They should have hanged him.
